Community Tasting Note

• dream wrote: 92 points

  April 10, 2011 - Blackish color. A fresh, deep wine with lovely earth and forest floor flavors. Really robust and ripe with a slight raisiny note. As compared with the classically-styled '04 that I had recently, this is richer but not as precise and clearly showing the effects of a hot vintage. That being said, it's still a wonderful wine with that "lift" of texture that is this wine's signature. Finishes quite complex and concentrated with notes of dried black cherries and a hint of wintergreen. I would drink this now as the raisin flavors weren't there 2 years ago when I last tasted it.
